Was the Supreme Court right to legalize abortion? Many abortion questions are debated in our society today without resolution. Why?

There appear to be two moral mill stones grinding against each other, the Judeo-Christian ethic vs secular materialism.

The secular ethic believes humanity is chance material with no purpose, other than what the individual assigns to himself. This view provides no objective standard for right and wrong.

The Christian moral framework holds that each human from conception to natural death was destined by God and made in His image. This makes each human intrinsically and equally valuable.

When society defaults to the secular ethic permitting the dehumanization of one category of person, like preborn babies, what keeps it from dehumanizing others? Wouldn’t it seem the best protective hedge for all human life within society to err on the side of a morality which contains the highest, most liberal definition of humanity like the Christian one?
